- Jack Black Intense Therapy Lip Balm in Black Tea & Blackberry and Natural Mint & Shea Butter- I've been using the Vanilla & Lavender and Lemon & Chamomile flavors for the last few months so this was a nice change. The Black Tea & Blackberry is from a set of 3 and I absolutely love the flavor of this. It's sweet without being overly sweet. The Natural Mint is always nice -it "wakes up" my lips with its slight, tingly and minty sensation. (Review here) (Buy here)
- Stila Make Me Blush- This bright, golden, pinky coral has really perked up my sleepy face (too much school!!) over the last month. It's easy to use when I'm in a hurry and on the go. (Review here) (Buy here)
- Illamasqua Cream Blusher in Rude- I've also been loving this Illamasqua blush for a quick, no-fuss look. I can wear it without a full face of makeup and look "naturally flushed" -which I love. (Review here) (Buy here)
- LORAC Multiplex 3D Lip Gloss in 4D- I got 4D, a new shade, in a set that also came with 3D. I innitially expected 4D to be more pigmented but I like the semi-sheer bubblegum pink shade and pretty shimmer. It's not too over the top and works with daily, natural looks. (3D review here) (Swatches of all permanent shades here) (Buy here)
- Smashbox Step-By-Step Contour Kit- Although this was sent from Apothica, it was something that I've had my eye on since Smashbox came out with it (I believe a few months ago?) I'm so happy to have received it. I've only just started testing it out but so far, it does a great job sculpting my face -my boyfriend even noticed! (Buy here)
- Eminence Eight Greens Whip Moisturizer- It's funny because I received this as a sample with my Apothica order and it turned out to be one of my favorite products. I've used this a few times (at night) and in the morning, I've woken up with smooth, glowing skin. It's even helped to even out my skin a bit. I don't know what's in this stuff but I've received compliments after every use. The only thing that's stopping me from immediately placing an order is the hefty price tag -I need more time to test it out before I make such a big investment on a beauty product. (Buy here)
- Reshaping my eyebrows- Two weeks ago, I reshaped and groomed my brows. This may sound weird but I guess depending on the season, I like to change up the shape of my brows. In the Fall and Winter, I love a thicker brow but in the Spring and Summer, it's all about lighter hair and thinner brows! (I'll post a photo soon.)
- Stash Chai Green Tea with milk and sugar- I used to drink this by itself but a few nights ago, I tried it with milk and sugar and it was AMAZING. I usually order a Chai Green Tea Latte at my favorite coffee shop and then mix of the tea, sugar, and milk takes exactly like that. It's so good that I ran out and couldn't take a photo of it!
